    So on my now old laptop I have a problem, I would like to get this fixed so that I can sell it. Inside of the laptops charger port the prongs appear to be bent out of place. I want to lightly bend them back into the correct position in the hopes that it may begin charging again. I refuse to take it in for servicing because god knows how much that would cost. I would attempt to solider a new dc power jack on myself, however I do not have the tools for this.

    So basically what I am asking is if someone has this model can they take a really decent picture of the inside of the charger port, that way I can attempt to go on from there.

    That's quite possible. The Z5B is relatively rare and was superseded by the Z5C.

    If the chassis is the same as the Z5C then you may find internal photos either here or here.

    Or maybe in the Series 7 disassembly guide. That is based on the NP700Z5A, but may still be similar to your model -- and it contains discussion long after the release of newer models.

    Not a single picture of the inside of the port.

    I have a Z5B-W01UB.

    A possibility you may have to consider is that the charger you have is worn down from constant insertion and removal. I'll see if I can get good pictures taken of the charger port.

    I am positive that it is not worn down.
